Chapter Seventy-Three: Wang Bao Comes to the Door

I just came back from a trip today, I'm too tired to be more than 100 million, and I'll be back to normal tomorrow.

——————

With the character of greedy cups in ancient and modern times, it is rare that he didn't drink much today, but he left in a hurry after a few drinks, saying that he wanted to go to Yuan Xulin as soon as possible to settle the matter of Cheng Jingling's promotion to the post of military guard.

Looking at the back of Gu Jinlai leaving, Bai Qianqian said with some nostalgia: "For as long as I can remember, Uncle Gu has always been like this, and he is resolute in everything. Eight years later, when I saw him again a few days ago, I couldn't believe that the person with dull eyes and slow words and deeds was him. But in eight years, he looked like he was thirty years older... Jing Ling, thanks to your appearance, otherwise Uncle Gu would probably continue to be depressed. ”

Because in Cheng Jingling, he has seen hope in the past and present, so he will regain his vitality again, full of confidence and expectation for the future!

If there is no hope for a person to live in the world, then it is no different from the walking dead, just as it has been in the past and the present.

Cheng Jingling looked at Bai Qianqian and smiled, and said softly: "I can't imagine what the grandfather was like before, it should be very majestic, right?" Eight years ago, I was just over seven years old. ”

Hearing Cheng Jingling's words, Bai Qianqian couldn't help but look stunned, turned her head to look at Cheng Jingling, and sighed: "Yes, you are not yet sixteen years old... I forgot. When I was with you, I always felt that you were very mature, and you didn't look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child at all! Slowly, I forgot that you are a child who calls me Auntie! ”

"What a child, you're not much older than me. Although I call you aunt, I have always regarded you as a sister. Cheng Jingling muttered, looking at Bai Qianqian's gaze a little hot.

As a young woman, although her married life was very short because her husband died early, she was much more mature than a little girl who was ignorant of the world, and she could naturally feel the changes in Cheng Jingling's mood.

In an instant, Bai Qianqian's heart became a little flustered, and she hurriedly staggered her gaze from Cheng Jingling, and glanced at Liu Qingyan, who was only concerned about eating, without a trace.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little subtle and embarrassing, Cheng Jingling's voice changed again, and joked: "Aunt Bai, don't treat me as a child, everyone around me has said that I am mature since I was a child, and the housekeeper in our house was fifty or sixty years old at that time, and he had to call me Brother Cheng when we met." ”

"Poof, pure nonsense." Bai Qianqian chuckled, she also knew that Cheng Jingling was easing the atmosphere, so she quickly took over the conversation, changed the topic and asked, "By the way, I heard you talk to Uncle Gu just now, are you going to be promoted to the rank of iron-clad detective?" Congratulations yet! ”

Cheng Jingling retracted his gaze and continued to eat, and explained nonchalantly: "Well, with the credit of capturing Gai Yajun this time, it should have been promoted after a while." However, I cultivated to break through to the Blood Refining Realm yesterday, and after my grandfather found out, he asked me to be promoted as soon as possible. ”

"What? You've already refined the Blood Realm? Bai Qianqian looked at Cheng Jingling dumbfounded, her eyes full of incredulity.

Cheng Jingling was a little proud in his heart, but there was no trace on his face, and he said lightly: "Yes, there are enough resources during this period of time, plus I am relatively diligent in my cultivation, and I had some insights in the battle with Gai Yajun yesterday, and I naturally broke through last night." ”

Although Bai Qianqian doesn't know martial arts, the people around her since she was a child are basically martial artists.

Her father, her husband, ancient and modern... The martial arts qualifications of these people are much higher than that of ordinary martial artists. But even in ancient and modern times, it was determined that he would become a martial arts master in the future, and he broke through the blood refining realm at the age of twenty-three. Her husband, Liu Sheng, was praised for his qualifications being three points stronger than those of ancient and modern times, but he also broke through the blood refining realm at the age of twenty-one.

And what about Cheng Jingling? He wasn't even sixteen yet! And in what environment did he grow up? Private slaves! I don't know how many times worse than the growth environment of ancient and modern times and Liu Sheng! The supply of resources and the enlightenment of martial arts are completely different!

But even so, Cheng Jingling's breakthrough through the Blood Refining Realm was still many years earlier than Gu Jinlai and Liu Sheng.

For a while, Bai Qianqian seemed to understand why she had become radiant again in ancient and modern times, and why she regarded Cheng Jingling as hope!

Next, Bai Qianqian didn't know what she was thinking, some of her thoughts didn't belong to her, and the conversation with Cheng Jingling didn't match.

After eating, Bai Qianqian took Liu Qingyan to say goodbye to Cheng Jingling and returned to her yard.

The guests were all gone, Cheng Jingling was lying comfortably on the rocking chair in the courtyard, watching Qingluo busy cleaning up the table, cleaning the dishes, and cleaning, and suddenly felt that Wang Snake was also good, it was good to have a maid to take care of her at home, and she could make herself a lot more leisurely.

Isn't it a good choice for the time saved, whether it is cultivation or rest?

I took a nap at noon, and after getting up in the afternoon, I went into the space-time gap to cultivate twice. With the improvement of Cheng Jingling's cultivation, the price of entering the gap in time and space has also become more expensive, and the price of cultivating once has changed from the previous 1 token to 2 tokens, which is not too expensive, and Cheng Jingling is still acceptable.

Of course, there is no way to accept it, he is accustomed to the ultra-high-speed improvement of the space-time gap, and the current Cheng Jingling must no longer be able to endure the slow improvement speed of cultivating outside the space-time gap.

It's just that I don't know how much the price of the space-time gap will rise when it comes to the third order. Whether to continue to increase 1 token to 3 tokens, or double to 4 tokens.

However, this is still far away for Cheng Jingling, he has only just broken through the second order now, and he doesn't know how long it will take to break through the third order.

Until dusk in the afternoon, when Cheng Jingling was guiding Qingluo to prepare dinner in the stove room, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.

Knock Knock Knock –

Stopping Qingluo, who was busy opening the door, and motioning her to continue looking at the food on the stove, Cheng Jingling walked out and opened the courtyard door.

After seeing the people standing outside the door, Cheng Jingling was a little surprised, and said in surprise: "Baozi? ”

The person who came was Wang Bao, but the two had no friendship, why did he come to his house?

Wang Bao's broad body blocked the entire door, and seeing Cheng Jingling's doubts, he explained: "Jingling, Li Jishi asked you to go to the investigation room tomorrow morning to find him, because you are not in the guard, I will inform you." ”

"Uh-oh." Cheng Jingling nodded suddenly.

It seems that Gu Jinsheng has communicated with Yuan Xulin in ancient and modern times, and Li Jinsheng asked him to go to the investigation room tomorrow, which should be the process of being promoted to an iron-clad officer.

Didn't expect it to be so fast!

It's just that why did you let Wang Baolai deliver the letter, instead of Wu Kuan, who had a good relationship with him?

Cheng Jingling was a little puzzled, but when he saw Wang Bao, who was still smiling and standing at the door, he still turned sideways and invited him into the house first, and said politely: "Come into the house Baozi, you have worked hard to make a trip!" You haven't eaten yet, have you? It just so happens that my family is going to have a good meal, so let's eat some together! It's commonplace, don't dislike it! ”

"Then I'll bother!" Wang Bao was not polite, and followed Cheng Jingling's words into the courtyard, and explained as he walked inside: "In our team, the captain, the monkey, and Dali didn't come today, only I was writing the record and sorting out the files, so Li Jishi could only let me send you a letter." ”

I see!

"Hard work!" Cheng Jingling hurriedly thanked.

At this time, the meal was almost ready, Cheng Jingling did not go into the stove room to instruct Qingluo, but arranged for Wang Bao to sit down, and poured a cup of tea for him first.

In any case, people should still be polite when they travel all the way for their own business.

After Wang Bao took a sip of tea, he happened to see the green radish coming out of the stove room, and couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Jing Ling, you have already married a wife?" ”
